If you’re someone who loves lightweight hydration, this one’s for you.

Toners aren’t a must, but I personally enjoy layering watery toners to prep my skin before going in with richer products. I’m also a big fan of the 7-skin method, so these formulas really hit the sweet spot—hydrating, calming, and never overwhelming. Here are the toners I’ve been reaching for lately.

<h3>1. Lannue Multi Active Essential Toner</h3>

This toner is all about balance. It feels calming the moment it hits the skin while still delivering a good dose of hydration. The chrysanthemum extract helps soothe any irritation, and the added amino acids support the skin barrier, which is always a win. It’s especially nice if your skin tends to get oily but dehydrated at the same time. Light, refreshing, and very skin-friendly.

<h3>2. EqualRXN Mushroom B5 Toning</h3>

There’s some serious mushroom magic happening here. This toner feels nourishing without being heavy, which honestly surprised me in the best way. It absorbs quickly, leaves the skin comfortable, and helps strengthen the barrier so the rest of your skincare sinks in better. If your skin feels tired or stressed, this one feels like a gentle reset.

<h3>3. Hada Labo Hydrating Lotion</h3>

A true classic for a reason. This one is slightly more viscous than the others, but it’s incredible at locking in hydration. I love using it right after cleansing while my skin is still damp—it instantly makes my skin feel plump and juicy. Simple, effective, and reliable no matter the season.

<h3>4. Lagom Cellus Revive Essence Toner</h3>

This toner feels silky and luxurious, and my skin drinks it right up. It does more than just hydrate—it helps the skin look revitalised and a little more firm over time. After using it, my skin feels supple and looks healthier, almost like I actually slept well the night before.

<h3>5. THE LAB by Blanc Doux Oligo Hyaluronic Acid 5000 Toner</h3>

If dehydration is your main concern, this toner packs a punch. It’s ultra-lightweight and uses low molecular hyaluronic acid to deliver hydration deeper into the skin. No stickiness, no heaviness—just clean, refreshing moisture that layers beautifully.

Watery toners might seem simple, but they can make a huge difference in how your skin feels and absorbs the rest of your routine. Whether you want soothing, plumping, or barrier support, there’s a toner here for every mood and skin need. Sometimes, it’s the light layers that make the biggest impact.
